Wordpress: Manual or one-click install - GoFuckYourself.com

Verbal · 02-09-2013, 09:26 AM

The one-click install is a great feature, but I was wondering if there is a benefit to installing Wordpress manually.

Hentaikid · 02-09-2013, 09:36 AM

Not really, there's nothing you can't go in and modify later if you want to

Lonny · 02-09-2013, 09:44 AM

with one click installs most web host have it set up to install MSQL automatically which is great for people like me. other then that I don't see no difference.

Manual is good for things like creating networks with your custom php/themes/plugins/etc all at once.
If you're just doing a regular WP install, one click install is best to avoid problems.

I prefer to SSH in, extract the tar and setup mysql with the CLI. It's really not hard, and it's a good reminder for me of where everything is when I need to make changes later.

1 click installs are preferred by most nowadays.

2013 · 02-09-2013, 01:18 PM

Prefer to import latest.tar.gz from wordpress and go from that. Fantastico etc is always out of date.

Exactly. It's good to see someone who isn't helpless. You're a rarity these days.

bl4h · 02-09-2013, 02:48 PM

cant tell other people what they prefer. personally i want the latest that i download, extract and configure. one click install is building your house out of straw

He wants to know if it makes a difference or adversely affects him, idiots.

It doesn't. You can still customize as need be.
